I'm completely cricketed out. If I never have to write another word about cricket again, I'll be a happy man.

I have been to Turkey almost every summer holiday of my life and pretty much only on summer holidays, which makes me a very shallow Turk indeed.

I think if you're writing about cricket, you're obviously writing about power, because cricket is such a loaded sport, much more so than soccer.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

God knows we are subtle creatures who are more than able to use candour to avoid acknowledging our deceptions of others and ourselves.
